Crude oil producers in Nigeria have resisted any attempt to compel them to sell their products to Dangote Refinery and other local refineries, saying it negates the willing-buyer, willing-seller principle.
The oil producers, under the aegis of the Independent Petroleum Producers Group (IPPG), rather urged the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited to re-direct its allocated crude oil volumes to Dangote refinery and other local refineries to mitigate the current crude supply shortage being experienced by the local refiners that is impacting local product availability in many parts of Nigeria.
